I am small. Both literally and in-concept. But I do believe I have impact. Which is why I wanted to do the World Race. My time on earth is fleeting. I want to use it well and squeeze each last drop out while I can: to impact those around me.
This blog was issued to me from The World Race and I intend to use it to update my friends and family on how the Lord moves, so here we meet!
I’ve never fundraised before. I’ve never had something to fundraise for.
And It’s certainly a classic EJ move to embark on my first fundraising journey by dedicating my life to something with a price tag of $19,200.
Go big or go home right? (Not even funny, I can’t imagine leaving the mission field early due to inadequate funds)
I admit that I am scared but not full of fear in total. I owe that to the Lord. The ‘massive’ goals and deadlines loom in circles around my head and I battle the pull to be anything but present. As the sun sets and rises, a new day calls me on a new adventure, i wanted to stop in the craziness of senior year for this update on my fundraising progress. Ready for it?
One thousand dollars.
The Lord has provided through YOU, one thousand dollars.
ummmmm – Amen (!!!)
That is 5% of my goal. I am thrilled. I am choosing to see that as PROGRESS because it IS! I have 10ish months to reach my goal. I am choosing positivity and excitement over dread. My nature wants to run, because this is hard. But I offer this struggle as a gift to the Lord who directed me on this path. Jesus, this is for you. Lets hit the ground running.
LET’S HIT THE GROUND RUNNING!
To those who have supported me, I want to extend this thank you.
And as I close this small update, I wanted to share this line I’ve been repeating to help ground me in this process.
In the end, It’s not about me.
In the end, It’s not about me.
In the end, It’s not about me.
I hope as you find this post, whether on email or Facebook or text, you feel connected to my journey. I am inviting you on this with me. To pray, to encourage, to lift up, to donate. I need your partnership. I am humbled.
With humble love,
EJ
